Trading volumes of bitcoin (BTC) paired with ArchBlock's dollar-pegged stablecoin TrueUSD (TUSD) have surged on Binance after the exchange introduced zero trading fees in the pair on March 23. However, the trade of BTC denominated in tether (USDT), the largest dollar-pegged stablecoin by market value, remains more liquid. Market depth data on Binance shows that BTC-USDT is still king from a liquidity standpoint, with market makers evidently more comfortable with exposure to Tether over TUSD. Nonetheless, TUSD's market depth has improved sharply from practically zero to $10 million in a month, surpassing BUSD to become the second-most liquid pair on Binance.
